Chapter 632 Zombie Prince 6

The autumn wind was bleak as it blew across the Gu family cemetery. The yellow leaves fluttered down one after another, adding a sense of desolation to this quiet place.

Gu Moshen and Mu Xue stood side by side, looking at the tombstones in front of them, the grief in their hearts surged like a tide. Gu Moshen was dressed in a black brocade robe, his posture was upright but revealed endless vicissitudes, his deep eyes were filled with tears at this moment.

"Father, mother, I have finally avenged you." Gu Moshen's voice was hoarse and trembling, and tears slid down his resolute face.

Mu Xue was wearing a plain white dress, with her long black hair tied up with a simple jade hairpin. Her face was beautiful but a little haggard. She gently leaned on Gu Moshen's shoulder and said softly, "Moshen, everything is over. The future will be good."

Gu Moshen clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. "For the sake of power and wealth, they were so unscrupulous that they caused the death of the entire Gu family."

Mu Xue reached out and held Gu Moshen's hand, trying to give him some warmth. "Fortunately, the truth is now out, and the emperor has vindicated the Gu family. They will rest in peace in heaven."

Gu Moshen turned to look at Mu Xue, his eyes full of affection and gratitude, "Xue'er, if you hadn't been by my side these days, I would have collapsed long ago."

Mu Xue smiled slightly, "Mo Shen, there's no need to thank each other. Since the day I married into the Gu family, I have been with you through life and death."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Mu Xue couldn't help but shiver. Gu Moshen quickly took off his cloak and put it on her, "Don't catch a cold."

Mu Xue felt the remaining body temperature of Gu Moshen on her cloak, and her heart warmed, "Moshen, let's go back."

Gu Moshen nodded, and the two of them slowly left the cemetery.

Back at the mansion, Gu Moshen sat in the study, lost in thought. Mu Xue came in with a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table, "Moshen, don't think too much, drink a cup of tea to warm yourself up."

Gu Moshen raised his head and looked at Mu Xue, "Xue'er, I was thinking, after this incident, the situation in the court must have changed. How can I revive the Gu family?"

Mu Xue sat down next to him, "Mo Shen, you don't have to rush. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body and plan slowly."

Gu Moshen held Mu Xue's hand, "Xue'er, you are always so considerate."

At this time, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report: "My Lord, Princess, the Lord Wang wants to see you."

Gu Moshen frowned, "Lord Wang? Why is he here at this time?"

Mu Xue said, "Let's meet first and talk later."

Gu Moshen nodded, "Please come to the living room, Master Wang."

Arriving in the living room, Lord Wang was all smiles, "Your Majesty, congratulations to the Gu family for getting their name cleared."

Gu Moshen said calmly, "Thank you, Lord Wang. I wonder what brings you here today?"

Lord Wang approached Gu Moshen and lowered his voice and said, "My Lord, now that Concubine Li's family has fallen and the situation in the court is turbulent, this is a great opportunity for you to revive the Gu family."

Gu Moshen's heart trembled, "Why do you say that, Lord Wang?"

Lord Wang chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are a smart man. You have done a great deed in front of the Emperor. As long as you seize the opportunity, why worry that the Gu family cannot restore its former glory?"

Gu Moshen's face darkened, "Sir Wang, the Gu family only wants to have a clear conscience and does not want to participate in the court struggle."

Lord Wang's expression changed slightly, "Your Majesty, please don't be ungrateful. If you miss this opportunity, you will lose it forever."

Mu Xue said, "Sir Wang, my husband has made up his mind. Please don't say anything more."

Lord Wang snorted coldly, "Okay, take care of yourself!" Then he turned away.

Gu Moshen looked at Lord Wang's departing back, worried, "Xue'er, it seems that the days ahead will not be peaceful." Mu Xue held Gu Moshen's hand, "Moshen, no matter what, I will stay by your side."

As the days go by, Gu Moshen and Mu Xue's lives seem peaceful, but in fact, there are undercurrents.

On this day, Gu Moshen received an order from the emperor, summoning him to the palace.

Gu Moshen was worried, not knowing why the emperor had summoned him. Mu Xue tidied up his clothes for him and said, "Moshen, don't be nervous. Just be careful when you get to the palace."

Gu Moshen nodded, "I understand, you wait for me at home."

Arriving at the palace, Gu Moshen met the emperor. The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a dignified look, "Gu Moshen, I summoned you today to ask you what you think about the current situation in the court."

Gu Moshen knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense."

The emperor smiled and said, "You can speak freely. I pardon you."

Gu Moshen thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, after the fall of Concubine Li's family, various forces in the court are ready to make a move. I think that we should focus on stabilizing the situation and select talented people to serve the court."

The emperor nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense. Gu Moshen, I remember your loyalty to the Gu family and intend to use you. Are you willing to share my worries?"

Gu Moshen was shocked and said quickly: "Your Majesty is so kind, I am willing to sacrifice my life to serve the court."

Gu Moshen came out of the palace with a heavy heart. When he returned home, Mu Xue came up to him, "Moshen, how is it?"

Gu Moshen told Mu Xue what happened in the palace, and Mu Xue said worriedly: "Moshen, this is the emperor's favor, but also a huge responsibility."

Gu Moshen sighed, "Xue'er, I know, but for the Gu family and for the people of the world, I have no choice."

After that, Gu Moshen worked hard in the court, assisting the emperor in handling government affairs, while Mu Xue took care of the household chores in the mansion. Facing such a peaceful life, Mu Xue was content and at ease.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Some people who are jealous of Gu Moshen began to trip him up in secret and spread rumors, saying that Gu Moshen was arrogant and wanted to monopolize power.

Gu Moshen was in trouble and felt depressed. Mu Xue comforted him, "Moshen, the innocent are innocent, don't be disturbed by these rumors."

Gu Moshen smiled bitterly and said, "Xue'er, I'm not afraid of being framed, I'm just worried that it will bring trouble to the Gu family."

Mu Xue's eyes were firm, "Mo Shen, as long as we are united as husband and wife, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

Encouraged by Mu Xue, Gu Moshen decided to take the initiative to find out the culprit behind the incident. After some investigation, he finally found out those who spread rumors and caused trouble.

When the emperor learned about this, he was furious and severely punished those people, clearing Gu Moshen's name.

After this incident, Gu Moshen's position in the court became more stable, and the Gu family gradually regained its former glory.

It was another spring day, and Gu Moshen and Mu Xue were walking hand in hand in the garden.

"Xue'er, thank you for your company and support all the time." Gu Mo said affectionately.

Mu Xue smiled, "Mo Shen, being able to be with you for my whole life is my greatest happiness."

The spring breeze blew, petals flew, and the two figures looked so beautiful in the sea of ​​flowers.
